| Summary: |
**Oscar-winner** Kevin Kline and Sandrine Bonnaire square off in this stylish and sophisticated dramedy of newfound passions and mid-life triumphs, set on the postcard-perfect isle of Corsica. Lovely, repressed and quietly intelligent, French chambermaid Hélène (Bonnaire) comes upon a couple engaging in an intense chess match, and discovers she has a knack for the game. This obsession-much to the chagrin of her husband and teenaged daughter-leads her to seek the clandestine tutelage of a reclusive American doctor (Kline, in his first French-speaking role) - a liaison that radically transforms both of their lackluster lives. Nominated for Best Narrative Feature at the **Tribeca Film Festival.** "*Bonnaire...is comfortingly delightful.... Kline...is the perfect partner.... Their scenes are little treasures*." - Stanley Kaufman, ***The New Republic*** |
